EIOH Social Worker Lenora Colaruotolo, LMSW, was named 2015 Social Worker of the Year by the National Association of Social Workers, NY State Chapter, Genesee Valley Division. The award recognizes exceptional leadership qualities, outstanding client and public education efforts, risk taking and upholding NASW’s Code of Ethics.

After completing his studies in biochemistry, biology and chemistry at Penn State University, Robert G. Quivey, Jr., continued there to earn his master’s degree in Genetics, and then a PhD in Microbiology at the University of Texas at Austin. He joined the University of Rochester in the mid 1980’s to work in the new field of bacterial molecular biology and the genetics of Streptococcus mutans. He was named the Center for Oral Biology’s director in 2009. Word of Mouth caught up with Dr. Quivey to learn what’s new in his lab.

Working for two weeks in an extreme climate and underserved area did not exactly sound like the ideal way to spend precious vacation time for Gregory Cygan, DDS.

But after learning more about the medical and dental missions trip to an undeveloped village in Honduras, the Eastman Institute for Oral Health resident decided he wanted to give it a try.
